Consultation has concluded
We would like to hear what you think about our HWRC Strategy, and what we plan to do over the next 20 years.
We have developed a plan called the HWRC Strategy that will help us better manage our waste for the next 2 decades. Our goal is to fix and reuse more of the things we throw away and follows the idea of the circular economy.
We will also review our waste centres to make sure they can work with any new laws and can adapt to the growing population of Oxfordshire. We want to give people places where they can give things to be used again, recycle things easily and safely, and throw things away in the right way.
Introduction
Oxfordshire County Council has seven Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs). These centres are very popular, with around one million visits every year. They take in 40,000-45,000 tonnes of waste, and 65.5% of this waste is recycled. The HWRCs are an important part of the Oxfordshire Resources and Waste Partnership's plan to reduce waste, increase recycling, and decrease the amount of waste that goes into landfills.
The HWRCs accept a wide range of materials, which helps to increase recycling. Additionally, the HWRCs provide green jobs and help to support the circular economy. The council's HWRC strategy is in line with its plans to address climate change, tackle inequalities, and promote sustainable waste management practices. Finally, the council is careful to consider budgetary constraints when developing its HWRC strategy
This new strategy is intended to be a general guide for decision-making and doesn't include detailed actions. It will be checked every 5 years to make sure it is still fit for purpose and will be accompanied by a plan to put it into action.
